Reply To: Why do Sephardim wear a yarmulka all day?

In a world of kafias, turbans etc… it’s hard to believe that sephardim didn’t generally wear a head covering. Maybe they didn’t consider it a Halachic necessity outside of davening but head coverings were normal. Coming to America, where the forces of tumah are infinitely greater, they needed it just like Ashkenazim, among whom some groups also did not consider wearing in the home a necessity. In fact,a few hundred years ago the same question could have been posed about Ashkenazim. Ashkenazic Jewry did a favor to all Jews by creating the kippah, a simple head covering that fits much easier into modern society.
